In 1893, 16-year-old Tessie Reynolds defied gender norms to ride 120 miles from Brighton to London and back, setting the fastest known time in the process. However, because she was a woman, her record wasn’t recognised. To pay homage to Tessie's amazing achievement and what it meant for women around the world, Manon has tried to recreate her epic ride, pantaloons and all!
